The Icy Hot patches help me handle pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have lower back pain all the time, and it occasionally becomes severe due to sacroiliac joint inflammation and lower back nerve pain related to fibromyalgia. The Icy Hot patches do not make the pain go away, but they make it bearable. The patch really does work for about 8 hours, long enough to make it through the work day. I find these patches to be a helpful, cost-effective way to deal with chronic pain.

This is 3 patches in 1 resealable pouch "for adults and children over 12 years". 5 1/2" x 9 3/4" (14cm x 25 cm each patch), which covers a substantial area. The box says it is comfortable fabric, stays in place, lasts up to 8 hours. It says a medicated patch with 5% menthol can be used for arthritis, simple bachache, bursitis, tendonitis, muscle strains, sprains, bruises, cramps. I found it to be a penetrating gentle heat, hardly noticeable when going about daily activities, but quietly working in the background all the same. I found it to work well beyond 8 hours. Here is what the patch did for me:

I woke up on Thanksgiving day with a nasty backache, mainly toward my left side--thought I must have somehow twisted in my sleep. It was stiff and sore, but bearable, and got a little worse as the day went on. Fortunately, I ate dinner out. I took two Advil. The next morning I was off to Bethlehem, PA, to help some friends at a craft show for the weekend. I wondered if I should go, but I felt reasonably ok. The 2 1/2 hour drive was no problem. I spent most of Friday sitting, getting up now and then to help with a sale. By 8 pm Friday night, I was so sore I could barely walk! The pain radiated from my back to the front and felt like someone ripped my stomach open. My friends suggested I use these Icy Hot patches, take a warm shower, and to consider taking maybe 4 Advil instead of 2. I did just that. After the warm shower, I dried off well and put this patch across my back. I took 2 Advil PM and 2 regular Advil. Unbelievable as it may sound, by Saturday morning, I was about 95% better! My range of motion was back and there was almost no pain. I changed the patch in the morning, took 3 Advil about every 6 hours, changed the patch at bedtime again.Read more ›

Hurt my back recently. It was painful to stand and walk. These patches are easy to apply and they stay on for a long time. I take mine off in the shower. They are nice for bedtime if you are having trouble sleeping because of pain

I didn't like how hard they are to take off and you can't reposition them or else they don't stick enough. I prefer the Bengay ones - they are easy to keep repositioning and come right off with no pain. Both brands work the same however, they definitely help!
